  • Registration of Belizeans Overseas Connecting with the Diaspora
    Registration of Belizeans Overseas Connecting with the Diaspora The Government of Belize is undertaking an exercise to determine the number of Belizeans living overseas and to foster a closer relationship with this overseas community. It is hoped that through this exercise our various Embassies and Consulates will be better able to work with the Government of Belize to address the needs of our Citizens residing overseas by providing more and improved services, and to continue together in the work of developing Belize. The information being gathered through our various Embassies and Consulates will be transmitted to Belize for input into a secure database in the Ministry of Foreign accessible only to those in the ministry directly responsible for the Ministry’s relationship with the Overseas Community. Information submitted to the various Embassies and Consulates will also be retained in those offices to facilitate ease of communication with those persons who have expressed their desire to be involved. The information will not be shared, unless it is specifically requested on the form by those persons who wish to share their skills and talents; and even so contact will be made initially through the Embassy or Consulate through whom the information was submitted. Electronic copies of the form can be found on: www.belize.gov.bz, www.mfa.gov.bz, and on the website of our Embassies and Consulates as shown on our Ministry’s website contact details. In conducting this exercise the form requests some specific information – marked with an asterisk – which is required if the exercise is to be successful in determining the number of Belizeans living overseas and in what Country ( and State) they are concentrated.

  • Correlates of Sexual Initiation Among Belizeans: Implications for HIV Risk
    Correlates of Sexual Initiation among Belizeans: Implications for HIV Risk Background and Significance The social meaning and significance of sexual initiation varies by culture, however, it remains a milestone in the physical and psychological development of both men and women throughout the world. Consequently, the timing of sexual debut is an important transition in a person’s reproductive trajectory; it represents changes in interpersonal relationships and decision-making processes. Furthermore, the context within which it occurs can have immediate and far-reaching consequences for the individual. Sexual initiation heralds the onset of possible exposure to unexpected and undesirable reproductive outcomes such as unplanned pregnancies, sexually transmitted diseases including HIV, and even infertility. A fair amount of research have implicated early sexual debut as a factor in subsequent risky sex-related behaviours such as inconsistent condom use and increased number of lifetime partners. Actually, delaying sexual initiation has been credited as one of the behaviour changes that contributed to the decline of HIV in Uganda. In many developed countries sexual debut typically occurs during adolescence; by age 20 usually about 80% of young adults are sexually experienced. Furthermore, countries of varied economic development are witnessing younger ages of sexual initiation with each subsequent generation. Globalization, advancing economic development, increased autonomy of women and the diminishing role of the church have been posited as social forces influencing this phenomenon. National boundaries are increasingly unable to constrain ideas, customs or behaviour as the vast apparatus of consumerism traverses the world. Thus, worldwide advances in human and economic development precipitate economic and cultural changes.

Summarizing the 13 Agreements between Belize and Guatemala Signed, 17 December 2014 Protection, Conservation, Recovery and Return of Items of Cultural and Natural Patrimony Which Have Been Stolen, Pilfered, Looted, Exported or Trafficked Unlawfully SHORT TITLE: CULTURAL AND NATURAL PATRIMONY Under this agreement, the Parties undertake to establish procedures to protect their national treasures and to develop necessary protocols for the return of stolen cultural and national patrimony; in the event that one Party's stolen patrimony is found in the other. 2 Expedited Deportation SHORT TITLE: DEPORTATION This agreement aims to expedite the process of deportation for individuals who have been found to enter the country illegally. This agreement applies only to first time offenders. 3 Mutual Recognition of Driver's Licenses SHORT TITLE: DRIVER'S LICENSES This agreement provides for the mutual recognition of driver's licenses issued in Belize and the Republic of Guatemala. Belizeans and Guatemalans who hold a valid driver's license from their respective country of origin, will be allowed to drive legally in the other country for a given period (90 days), before they are required to obtain a driver's license in the other country. This is to ease the process of acquiring a driver's license in the other country. It is expected that this will facilitate trade and tourism promotion, and will aid individuals who visit or reside in the other country. 4 Equivalence of Studies and the Recognition of Educational Documents SHORT TITLE: EDUCATIONAL DOCUMENTS In an effort to improve the efficiency of the accreditation process for educational documents, this agreement intends to simplify the various processes through different agencies, to certify an educational document acquired in either country.
